pixel area 210 comprises N gate lines (signal wires) GL1˜GLN, M data lines (signal wires) DL1˜DLM and a plurality of pixels interwoven by the gate lines and the data lines. The gate lines GL1˜GLN are divided into two groups: an odd gate line group (for example, GL1, GL3, GL5 and so on) and an even gate line group (for example, GL2, GL4, GL6 and so on). The data lines DL1˜DLM are divided into three groups: a red data line group (for example, DL1, DL4, DL7 and so on), a green data line group (for example, DL2, DL5, DL8 and so on), and a blue data line group (for example, DL3, DL6, DL9 and so on). Each gate line comprises afirst end 1 and asecond end 2. For instance, the gate line GL1 comprises afirst end 1 and asecond end 2. Each data line comprises afirst end 1 and asecond end 2. For instance, the data line DL1 comprises afirst end 1 and asecond end 2. Each pixel in thepixel area 210 comprises three sub-pixels (a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel). As shown inFIG. 2 , a red sub-pixel PX11 is electrically connected through a pixel switch SWP11 to the corresponding gate line and the corresponding red data line so as to receive the corresponding gate driving signal and the corresponding data driving signal for driving the red sub-pixel PX11 (it means displaying red color). More particularly, afirst end 1 of the pixel switch SWP11 is electrically connected to the red data line DL1, asecond end 2 of the pixel switch SWP11 is electrically connected to the red sub pixel PX11, and a control end C of the pixel switch SWP11 is electrically connected to the gate line GL1. - The
inspection circuit 240 comprises two gate line shorting bars GSLA and GSLB, three data line shorting bars DSLC, DSLD and DSLE, five conducting pads GA, GB, C, D and E, N gate line shorting switches (signal wire shorting switches) SWG1˜SWGN and M data line shorting switches (signal wire shorting switches) SWD1˜SWDM. As shown inFIG. 2 , the gate line shorting bars GSLA and GSLB are disposed on the left side of thepixel area 210 and the data line shorting bars DSLC, DSLD and DSLE are disposed on the bottom side of thepixel area 210. The conducting pads GA, GB, C, D and E are respectively electrically connected to the gate line shorting bar GSLA, the gate line shorting bar GSLB, the data line shorting bar DSLC, the data line shorting bar DSLD and the data line shorting bar DSLE. - In addition, the conducting pads PG1˜PGN are disposed on the left side of the
pixel area 210 for electrically connecting the gate driving circuit (signal driving circuit) 220 to the gate lines GL1˜GLN after the inspection phase. More precisely, after the inspection phase, thegate driving circuit 220 is electrically connected to the corresponding conducting pads PG1˜PGN so as to electrically connect the output ends of thegate driving circuit 220 through the conducting pads PG1˜PGN to the first ends 1 of the gate lines GL1˜GLN. The conducting pads PD1˜PDM are disposed on the bottom side of thepixel area 210 for electrically connecting the data driving circuit (signal driving circuit) 220 to the data lines DL1˜DLM after the inspection phase. More precisely, after the inspection phase, thedata driving circuit 230 is electrically connected to the corresponding conducting pads PD1˜PDM so as to electrically connect the output ends of thedata driving circuit 230 through the conducting pads to the first ends 1 of the data lines DL1˜GLM. - All the gate line shorting switches SWG1˜SWGN and the data line shorting switches SWD1˜SWDM have the same structure. For instance, the gate line shorting switch SWG1 comprises a
first end 1, asecond end 2, and a control end C. The gate line shorting switch SWG1 controls thefirst end 1 of the gate line shorting switch SWG1 electrically connecting to thesecond end 2 of the gate line shorting switch SWG1 according to the control signal SCG1 received on the control end C of the gate line shorting switch SWG1. For instance, when the control signal SCG1 turns on the gate line shorting switch SWG1, thefirst end 1 of the gate line shorting switch SWG1 is electrically connected to thesecond end 2 of the gate line shorting switch SWG1. On the contrary, when the control signal SCG1 turns off the gate line shorting switch SWG1, the electrical connection between thefirst end 1 of the gate line shorting switch SWG1 and thesecond end 2 of the gate line shorting switch SWG1 is broken (open-circuited). The data line shorting switch SWD1 comprises afirst end 1, asecond end 2, and a control end C. The data line shorting switch SWD1 controls thefirst end 1 of the data line shorting switch SWD1 electrically connecting to thesecond end 2 of the data line shorting switch SWD1 according to the control signal SCD1 received on the control end C of the data line shorting switch SWD1. For instance, when the control signal SCD1 turns on the data line shorting switch SWD1, thefirst end 1 of the data line shorting switch SWD1 is electrically connected to thesecond end 2 of the data line shorting switch SWD1. On the contrary, when the control signal SCD1 turns off the data line shorting switch SWD1, the electrical connection between thefirst end 1 of the data line shorting switch SWD1 and thesecond end 2 of the data line shorting switch SWD1 is broken (open-circuited). - The gate line shorting switches SWG1˜SWGN are respectively disposed on the left side and the right side of the
pixel area 210 for increasing available space between any two adjacent gate line shorting switches. That is, the gate line shorting switches SWG1˜SWGN are respectively disposed on the left side and the right side of thepixel area 210 so that the distance between any two adjacent gate line shorting switches becomes longer so as to reduce the cross-talk and the coupling effect. - The data line shorting switches SWD1˜SWDM are respectively disposed on the upper side and the bottom side of the
pixel area 210 for increasing available space between any two adjacent data line shorting switches. That is, the data line shorting switches SWD1˜SWGM are respectively disposed on the upper side and the bottom side of thepixel area 210 so that the distance between any two adjacent data line shorting switches becomes longer so as to reduce the cross-talk and the coupling effect. - The gate line shorting switches SWG1˜SWGN of the
inspection circuit 240 are divided into two groups: an odd gate shorting switch group (for example, SWG1, SWG3, SWG5 and so on), and an even gate shorting switch group (for example, SWG2, SWG4, SWG6 and so on).

For example, among the odd gate line shorting switch group, the gate line shorting switches corresponding to the two adjacent odd gate lines GL1 and GL3 are the gate line shorting switches SWG1 and SWG3. Thefirst end 1 of the gate line shorting switch SWG1 is electrically connected to thefirst end 1 of the gate line GL1; thesecond end 2 of the gate line shorting switch SWG1 is electrically connected to the gate line shorting bar GSLA. Thefirst end 1 of the gate line shorting switch SWG3 is electrically connected to thesecond end 2 of the gate line GL1; thesecond end 2 of the gate line shorting switch SWG3 is electrically connected to thesecond end 2 of the gate line GL3. The rest gate line shorting switches of the odd gate line shorting switch group are disposed in the same way. The gate line short switches of the even gate line shorting switch group are disposed in the similar way as the gate line shorting switches of the odd gate line shorting switch group disposed and hereinafter will not be repeated again for brevity. - The data line shorting switches SWD1˜SWDM of the
inspection circuit 240 are divided into three groups: a red data shorting switch group (for example, SWD1, SWD4, SWD7 and so on), a green data shorting switch group (for example, SWD2, SWD5, SWD8 and so on), and a blue data shorting switch group (for example, SWD3, SWD6, SWD9 and so on). Any two adjacent data lines in the same group are respectively named as the first data line and the second data line in the following description. The data shorting switch corresponding to the first data line and the data line shorting switch corresponding to the second data line are respectively disposed on the upper side of thepixel area 210 and the bottom side of thepixel area 210. More particularly, thefirst end 1 of the data line shorting switch corresponding to the first data line is electrically connected to thefirst end 1 of the first data line; thesecond end 2 of the data line shorting switch corresponding to the first data line is electrically connected to the corresponding data line shorting bar DSLC or DSLD or DSLE; thefirst end 1 of the data line shorting switch corresponding to the second data line is electrically connected to thesecond end 2 of the first data line; thesecond end 2 of the data line shorting switch corresponding to the second data line is electrically connected to thesecond end 2 of the second data line.

Thefirst end 1 of the data line shorting switch SWD1 is electrically connected to thefirst end 1 of the data line DL1; thesecond end 2 of the data line shorting switch SWD1 is electrically connected to the data line shorting bar DSLC. Thefirst end 1 of the data line shorting switch SWD4 is electrically connected to thesecond end 2 of the data line DL1; thesecond end 2 of the data line shorting switch SWD4 is electrically connected to thesecond end 2 of the data line DL4. The rest data line shorting switches of the red data line shorting switch group are disposed in the same way.

FIG. 3 .FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the gate lines being short-circuited during the inspection phase. As shown inFIG. 3 , during the inspection phase, by means of theinspection circuit 240, all the gate line shorting switches SWG1˜SWGN are turned on so that all the gate lines are short-circuited to the corresponding gate line shorting bars as shown inFIG. 3 . In this way, the inspection signals can be transmitted to the conducting pads GA and GB through the corresponding gate line shorting bars for inspecting all the gate lines GL1˜GLN. - Please refer to
FIG. 4 .FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the data lines being short-circuited during the inspection phase. As shown inFIG. 4 , during the inspection phase, by means of theinspection circuit 240, all the data line shorting switches SWD1˜SWDM are turned on so that all the data lines are short-circuited to the corresponding data line shorting bars as shown inFIG. 4 . In this way, the inspection signals can be transmitted to the conducting pads C, D and E through the corresponding data line shorting bars for inspecting all the data lines DL1˜DLM. - In addition, the control ends C of each of the shorting switches SWG1˜SWGN and SWD1˜SWDN can be totally electrically connected together or partially electrically connected together as desired. However, it is required that all the shorting switches SWG1˜SWGN and SWD1˜SWDM have to be turned on during the inspection phase, and after the inspection phase, all the shorting switches SWG1˜SWGN and SWD1˜SWDM have to be turned off for preventing the
LCD 200 from abnormal operation since thegate driving circuit 220 and thedata driving circuit 230 are respectively electrically connected to the conducting pads PG1˜PGN and PD1˜PDM. - Please refer to
FIG. 5 .FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the LCD 500 (2G2D) according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown inFIG. 5 , theLCD 500 comprises aninspection circuit 540 and a pixel area (display area) 510. Theinspection circuit 540 and thepixel area 510 in theLCD 500 are similar to theinspection circuit 240 and thepixel area 210 in theLCD 200. The only difference is that theinspection circuit 540 comprises two gate line shorting bars GSLA and GSLB, two data line shorting bars DSLC and DSLD, and four conducting pads GA, GB, C and D. Compared with theinspection circuit 240, only two data line shorting bars are utilized in theinspection circuit 540 for shorting-circuited function. Thepixel area 510 is divided into groups according to the design of the shorting bars of theinspection circuit 540. The related operational principle is as described above and hereinafter will not be repeated again. - In conclusion, the inspection circuit provided by the present invention increases the space between any two adjacent shorting switches by disposing the shorting switches on the different sides of the pixel area. Meanwhile, the cross-talk and coupling effect between the shorting switches are reduced, causing a great convenience.
- Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the device and method may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention.
